We are unable to hold dogs due to our small size. Dogs coming into us are coming from local shelters that are euthanizing for space so holding a dog for an extended period does not allow another dog to be saved.
Animals may not be adopted as a "gift" for someone unless all family members are aware of the adoption and meet the animal before the adoption takes place
Dogs must not be left crated for more than 8 hours.
If you have a current pet, they must be up to date on vaccinations and spayed/neutered. This includes cats. Dogs must have annual vet exams.
If renting, approval from the landlord is required to keep the dog on the premises.If you have a current dog, your pet must meet the new pet before the adoption is finalized to make sure they will be compatible to live together. You will bring your dog to our facility for the meet. We cannot travel to you.If you adopt from Fetch A Friend Rescue and you cannot keep the pet for any reason, you must return the animal to Fetch A Friend Rescue. There is no guarantee that because you apply for the dog that you are going to adopt that dog. We seriously consider all applications but if we should suggest another dog for your home, it is because we truly know these dogs and possibly there is another dog that is a better fit. We strive for as best of a match as possible. Proper placement takes into consideration many things, including size, male/female, activity level, children and ages of the children, fencing or lack of, amount of time dog will spend home alone, and many other considerations.

ABOUT ME!: Handsome Porky was found as a stray in the city of Syracuse. He was likely a discarded breeding stud. He has only known love and spoiling since arriving to us! He loves big cozy beds, big stuffed toys, and wearing warm clothes on a cold day! Porky is a gentle giant but also a bull in a china shop! You will need sturdy legs around this bulldozer! He is low to the ground and a big boy. Porky has a facial paralysis on one side of his face which causes him to drool more than most dogs- so you must love some drool in your life! The vet said it was likely caused by trauma or a bad infection from his poorly cropped ears. Due to his facial paralysis he cannot do stairs or jump off of high surfaces. He has a poor depth perception because of it. Pork loves female dogs and will happily be bullied by them. But he is not as much a fan of males, and cannot live with small animals. Although he loves to play with females, he does not wish to share his home with one. He does not like to share his toys with other dogs.
Porky was heart worm positive when he was found on the streets, likely from life outdoors. It is a mild case and can be easily treated with monthly prevention that cannot be missed! Porky is clean in his kennel (minus his drool), and not destructive with his toys or big beds! He loves going for walks with our volunteers too! This guy walks great on a harness!
I am neutered, heart worm positive but being treated with the slow kill method (heartgard plus every month!), microchipped, current on vaccinations and parasite preventions!

ABOUT ME!: I was adopted in August of 2020 by a great woman who totally understood me. The kind folks at Fetch a Friend Rescue in Seneca Falls brought me up from Tennessee and watched over me while I waited for my forever home. I had a couple previous owners before, but they didn’t read my full bio and when they brought me home, they couldn’t take care of me, so I went back to the rescue until my former mom got me.
In early October, mom let me romp around off leash in the woods. When I came back to her, I was pretty badly hurt. I was rushed to Cornell, where I had two surgeries after a log penetrated my abdomen and severed my colon. The surgeries went well and my incisions healed really well. Miraculously, I have no long-term physical issues from the traumatic event—Cornell gave me a clean bill of health after a few post-op check-ups.
When I came home from the hospital, I couldn’t tolerate sharing the house with my doggy sister anymore. I growled at her and snapped every chance I got. My mom tried separating us with baby gates and working to counter-condition me to like her presence per the Cornell behaviorist, but it hasn’t worked. It’s not tenable for us to keep living together, so I’m ready to find a new home.
My mom was super active with me; she took me for walks, runs, and even did nose work training with me!! Earlier this year my mom brought home a little dog sister for me! I wasn’t sure what to make of her at first, but then we became best buddies and would play together and run around all over the house while I taught her how to be a good girl. But then I got injured and since then I have not been ok with her even though she had nothing to do with my injury. Traumatic ordeals can cause this shift of behavior towards a sibling dog.
But anyways- I am a super smart girl!! My mom taught me new tricks on rainy days when we’re stuck inside and I learn them really fast. Especially if she has yummy treats! My mom had taught me all kinds of commands like sit, down, stay, up, high five, paw, between, through, sit left, speak, hush, circle, crate, and wait. That’s a lot, right?! We also did nose work together because I LOVE to sniff, so she puts my brain and sniffer to good use. I’m super food motivated, so I am easy to teach!
I can be pretty affectionate in the way that husky dogs are. I like to lean up against my mom and her friends while they pet me-it’s my way of trying to hug humans. I like the occasional cuddle on the couch, and I am happy to be petted pretty much always. Sometimes I want some “me time,” and so I’ll put myself in my crate and have a quiet rest. When I’m tired or stressed out, I’ll also go to my crate. It’s my safe space and my personal retreat space! Sometimes I’ll spend the night in my crate and other times I will climb up on the couch and pass out there.
Like other young huskies, I have a lot of energy! In the morning I like to go in and tell my mom that it’s time to wake up and take me for a walk. Then after my morning exercise, mom gives me breakfast! I am a really good eater; I’m not picky about my kibble. After breakfast, I settle into my crate so mom can go to work. When she comes home, she takes me for another walk! I’m a really good doggy when I’m exercised 2-3 times a day. I like to sit in the kitchen and watch mom make dinner, just in case she drops some scraps, but I sit patiently-no jumping up or onto counters for me! Sometimes after dinner, I’ll pick out a toy from my basket and take it over to my mom for her to throw and for me to chase, but if mom is busy or tired, I’m also happy to chew on a treat or settle in for the night.
Some other fun facts about me: I am super soft and don’t get too smelly, haha! I am SUPER loyal once you earn my respect. I can be slow to warm up to new people, but once I get to know them and I am comfortable with them, I am their best friend ever. I have never once destroyed or chewed on anything I wasn’t supposed to. I am also VERY well house trained; I take pride in my record of having never had an accident in the house. I LOVE walks, but also love wildlife so like pretty much all husky dogs, I cannot ever be off-leash (unless in a securely fenced yard). Mom has helped me get better about ignoring squirrels and chipmunks with positive reinforcement training, but if a deer crosses our path, you better hang on tight! And though I really like people when I know them, the vet scares me and the groomer scares me, so I appreciate love, support, and treats if I need to see either.
I like routines and consistency in my life. Because I’m so smart I learn routines pretty quickly; when mom gets in the shower, I go right into my crate because I know after her shower that she will go out for a little while. I like my crate just fine—I’m quiet and calm in it. When mom gets home and lets me out of my crate, I go right to the door so she can let me outside to potty. Then, when I come back in, I look for lots of love, ear scratches, and belly rubs!
I really like people once I have had a chance to get to know them, but it takes me a bit to achieve that comfort level. I really like respectful people who will pay attention to me and pet me when I ask for it, but who will respect my space if I don’t.
I have met a few kids at friends’ houses and I have been very sweet to them, but they were well behaved and didn’t pull my tail, chase me, or crowd me. I would probably be fine in a house with kids old enough to respect my space and who weren’t looking for a snuggle buddy. I like being petted, but I don’t want anyone curled up all over me or hanging onto me!
I am OK if we pass by a dog when I am walking on leash as long as their owner is responsible and doesn’t let the dog get all in my face. If you distract me with treats, I’m happy to walk on by and leave the other dog alone!
I was so sad to leave my mom, but will be happy to be the only dog in my new home. I hope I can find a loving new home where I get lots of exercise and mental stimulation, and in return you will get a super smart, loving, and loyal companion who will give you lots of love!
